What's New At The Northland Arboretum in Brainerd (hint: Santa!)

The Northland Arboretum is a member-supported non-profit organization that encompasses over 400 acres in the heart of Brainerd/Baxter, Minnesota.

Today we talked with Northland Arboretum's Executive Director Candice Zimmerman about the upcoming events at the Arb - including this Saturday's Santa visit and the Sertoma Winter Wonderland Wednesdays through Saturdays in December, plus the full week after Christmas. It’s a drive-thru holiday light display from 5:30-8:30. Advance tickets are available at Northland Arboretum.

For more than two decades, Heidi Holtan has helped shape the sound of KAXE. Since joining the station in 2002 as a volunteer music programmer, she has worn many hats including the weekly book program, Realgoodwords, hosting the Morning Show, creation and host of the weekly call-in program Between You and Me, serving as Outreach Producer. Program Director, News Director and currently Director of Content and Public Affairs.
